Yep you're right, tired legs what a great way to start. We wended our way out of Bristol heading towards the Severn Bridge. Pretty uneventful but the Bridge was spectacular. Pictures are attached. As we all know Wales is the other side and it is the only time we have gone into Wales and not had to pay for anything. Fortunately we were in and out in twenty minutes chased by half a dozen sheep and an angry farmer!! My only worry now is how to get the dye off Chris's legs!!
As we made haste northwards our exit was impaired by Chris fantically waving his helmet in the air complaining that there was a wasp in his hat!!! My worry this time was that we were doing over 25 miles per hour. I have also found Chris to be a liar, he told me there were no hills, and there were, big ones.
We have now realised Worcestershire folk are experts in weather predication, Chis and I were enlightened by one of these, as follows: " The rains coming boys, hurry up". Chris and I were somewhat bemused as we had looked up ad worked it out for ourselves, also hurry up to where, as John O Groats is still 700 plus miles away.We met out dear friend John for lunch, dinner and apparently also for breakfast.
71miles. Average speed today was 15.2mph which was considerably faster than the waiting staff and the chef at the hotel dinner.
We are reading your blog everyday, and we are just as exhausted as you are!
